I spent my younger years growing up in the Adirondack Mountains. My family usually had a horse,a few cows,a handful of chickens and a cat around. We always had a vegetable garden in the summer and turned it into an ice skating rink in the winter. My great love for dogs started in the early 60's when my father brought home a puppy. It was love at first sight. He was mine and I was his. We played, ate, slept together and just lived for the start of the next day for our new adventure to begin.

Fast forward a few decades. My husband, who is a Phillie boy, and I made our home here in South Georgia. The kids are all grown and the grandkids are growing up. I now have the time to devote to my first love again....dogs!

As a retired AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, I would like to stress the importance of early socialization and training basic obedience. It will lead to a happy, peaceful life with your dog. I enjoy training my dogs so we can enter Rally, Obedience, Agility and Conformation events to earn ribbons and titles. Golden Retrievers are so versatile. One minute they can be cuddled up on the couch with me and the next we can be outside running through an agility course.

I breed AKC purebred Golden Retrievers for companion, performance, field and show homes. One of the biggest reasons a person should consider a responsible breeder is the experience with proper socialization and proper care way before the whelping box and acquiring all health clearances required by the Code of Ethics of the GRCA. I am proud of the dogs I breed and hope to always improve this wonderful breed. My passion and joy are bringing that special girl or boy into this world for that special family who has been waiting for them.
